    Ad-Free Advance | Bryan Kohberger's Trial Moved from Moscow Due to Concerns Over Media Coverage and Community Bias

    The upcoming trial for Bryan Kohberger, the man accused of killing four University of Idaho students in 2022, will no longer be held in Moscow, the college town where the murders took place. In a ruling filed on Sept. 6, Latah County Judge John C. Judge granted Kohberger’s defense team’s motion for a change of venue, citing concerns about media coverage and the potential for bias in the close-knit community of Moscow. "Considering the undisputed evidence presented by the defense, the extreme nature of the news coverage in this case, and the smaller population in Latah County, the defense has met the rather low standard of demonstrating a ‘reasonable likelihood’ that prejudicial news coverage will compromise a fair trial in Latah County,” the judge wrote in the order. As a result, the trial, initially expected to begin in June 2025, will be moved to another location, though the new venue has yet to be determined. Judge also pointed out logistical challenges in holding the trial in Latah County, noting that the courthouse lacks the necessary staff and space to accommodate both the prosecution and defense teams, as well as adequate security for the high-profile trial. “The Latah County Sheriff’s Office does not have enough officers to ensure security,” Judge added. Bryan Kohberger, a former Ph.D. student studying criminal justice and criminology at Washington State University, is facing four counts of murder and one count of burglary in connection with the stabbing deaths of Madison Mogen, 21, Kaylee Goncalves, 21, Xana Kernodle, 20, and Ethan Chapin, 20. The four students were found dead in an off-campus residence in Moscow, Idaho, on November 13, 2022. Kohberger has pleaded not guilty to all charges. Two additional roommates in the house were unharmed during the attack and have been ruled out as suspects. The investigation gained national attention, particularly because of Kohberger's academic background and the brutality of the murders. Kohberger was arrested nearly seven weeks after the killings while visiting family in Pennsylvania for the holidays. Investigators connected Kohberger to the crime scene through DNA evidence found on a knife sheath left behind in the bed where Mogen and Goncalves were discovered. According to a probable cause affidavit, Kohberger's cell phone also pinged in the area of the victims' residence at least 12 times before the night of the murders. Despite the delays in finalizing the trial location, Kohberger’s defense has raised several concerns about the ability to secure a fair trial. The new trial location and the judge who will oversee the case are expected to be announced soon. As Kohberger’s defense team continues to prepare, the court's decision to move the trial highlights the complexities surrounding high-profile cases in small, close-knit communities like Moscow, Idaho. #BryanKohberger #IdahoMurders #ChangeOfVenue #LatahCounty #UniversityOfIdaho #DNAEvidence #TrueCrimeTrial Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

    Bryan Kohberger’s Defense Opposes Death Penalty, Citing Unconstitutional Methods

    Bryan Kohberger’s defense team is actively opposing the death penalty for the 29-year-old, who is charged with the murders of four University of Idaho students in November 2022. Kohberger, a former criminology Ph.D. student, is accused of fatally stabbing Xana Kernodle, Ethan Chapin, Kaylee Goncalves, and Madison Mogen in their home near the university campus. In addition to four counts of first-degree murder, he faces burglary charges for the alleged crime. Kohberger's defense attorneys have filed multiple objections to the death penalty, citing both legal and moral grounds. They argue that Idaho’s methods of execution — lethal injection and firing squad — violate Kohberger’s rights under the U.S. Constitution. Specifically, they claim that these methods breach the Eighth Amendment’s protection against cruel and unusual punishment and the Fourteenth Amendment’s guarantee of due process. "Executing Kohberger by means of lethal injection or a gunshot as conceived of by the Idaho Department of Corrections would violate his right to be free from cruel and unusual punishment," his defense team wrote in a court filing. The defense further argues that death by firing squad, which is Idaho's alternative execution method when lethal injection is unavailable, "is not and was never constitutional." In addition to these arguments, Kohberger’s lawyers have claimed that capital punishment in general is a violation of "the dignity and spirit of human beings," citing evolving global standards. "The vast majority of modern, civilized society has already abolished capital punishment because the execution of human beings by governments is recognized to be a violation of the dignity and spirit of human beings," the defense wrote. They also noted that the United States has faced condemnation from the international community for continuing to carry out executions. Prosecutors, on the other hand, assert that they are simply adhering to Idaho law, which allows a jury to decide both guilt and the appropriate penalty, including the death sentence. "We are simply trying to fulfill our responsibilities under the law. To characterize it as the State is trying, is wanting, is trying to kill someone, is just simply appealing to raw emotion, and it has no place in this courtroom," prosecutors previously stated. The murders took place in the early hours of November 13, 2022, when the four victims were found stabbed to death with a KA-BAR-style knife at their off-campus residence in Moscow, Idaho. Kohberger, who was arrested in December 2022 at his family’s home in Pennsylvania, has maintained his innocence throughout the proceedings. Kohberger's trial is scheduled to begin no later than the summer of 2025, giving both the defense and prosecution ample time to prepare for what is expected to be a lengthy and high-profile trial. With the death penalty on the table, Kohberger’s legal team is seeking to eliminate capital punishment as a possible outcome. In their filings, they argue that preparing for a capital case in such a short timeframe is unrealistic and unfair. The case has garnered national attention, particularly given Kohberger’s academic background in criminology and the brutal nature of the crime. The outcome of this case will be closely watched, especially as the court navigates the debate over Idaho’s capital punishment procedures and the broader implications for death penalty cases across the country. #BryanKohberger #IdahoMurders #DeathPenaltyDebate #CapitalPunishment #UniversityOfIdaho #EighthAmendment #CriminalLaw Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

    Kohberger Defense Pushes for Change of Venue

    The judge overseeing the Bryan Kohberger case abruptly paused a hearing Thursday on the potential change of venue for the capital murder trial after a defense expert witness showed social media content in court. Kohberger, a former Washington State University graduate student, is accused of killing four University of Idaho students and faces a capital murder trial scheduled for June 2025. Judge John Judge, who presides over the case in Idaho’s 2nd Judicial District, listened to arguments from both the prosecution and defense regarding whether the trial should remain in Latah County, where the crime occurred. The hearing saw testimony from three expert witnesses, including Brian Edelman, co-founder of the jury consultancy firm Trial Innovations, hired by the defense to survey prospective jurors' knowledge and opinions about the case in Latah County.  During his testimony, Edelman showed Facebook posts in the courtroom, searching “Moscow murders” on the platform and sharing a screen recording of the search results. “You can see the extent of content that’s out there from groups that are just talking about this case and sharing information and discussing what they think happens, and videos and posts, which may include anything from influencers and podcasters to sharing traditional news stories through local newspapers or television stories,” Edelman explained. The presentation included various Facebook groups, posts, and videos, many of which used sensationalized language or speculated on case details. Concerned about the impact of displaying such content, Judge Judge stopped Edelman and paused the hearing, which was live-streamed to the public via YouTube.   Kohberger’s lead public defender, Anne Taylor, requested a break to discuss the situation privately. After a 30-minute pause, the court resumed, and Judge announced a one-hour lunch break. He decided that the first 15 minutes following the recess would not be streamed to the public, allowing only the victims’ family members who were watching online to view those first minutes through Zoom. “It’s kind of a compromise,” Judge said. “We thought there were certain things that maybe we don’t want to send out to the public. I don’t necessarily know what it all is, but I need to look at it and see it.” Kohberger’s defense team has argued that the trial must be moved out of Latah County to ensure his constitutional right to a fair and impartial jury. In court filings, the defense claimed that Latah County has been “utterly corrupted” by news exposure about the case, fostering a “mob mentality within the community.” Anne Taylor and her team seek to move the trial to Boise, Idaho's capital city, located about 300 miles south of Moscow. Boise, situated in the state’s largest county, offers a potentially more unbiased jury pool, Taylor argued. The defense supported its request for a change of venue with results from a phone survey conducted by a hired trial consultant. However, the survey initially drew criticism from Judge Judge because it polled prospective jurors in the community, potentially tainting the local jury pool. Prosecutors also opposed the defense's motion, arguing that pretrial publicity is common in high-profile cases and does not justify a venue change under Idaho law. “A move to Boise is neither necessary nor convenient,” Latah County Prosecutor Bill Thompson stated in his filing, arguing that the defense's survey results are flawed. Thompson suggested alternative measures, such as an expanded jury pool, to ensure an impartial jury. Ultimately, the decision rests with Judge Judge. Should he grant the defense’s request to relocate the trial, he could choose to remain with the case unless he opts to withdraw due to the venue change, according to Idaho criminal rules.
